I'd like to see a pro sprinter use a mirror. It would allow him to scan his competitors behind him. Yes, it would be very unpopular with fans and fellow competitors. There would be calls to UCI to ban them. But formally banning mirrors brings up another issue - UCI stating formally to the world that they are banning an item that if copied (and everything a winner uses gets copied) will save lives.
